Sharingan Evolution: Proficiency's Path

It turned out that the three Iwagakure Jonin didn't have the patience to wait any longer, or perhaps the two shadow clones didn't give them the opportunity.

When the three Iwagakure Jonin teamed up, their combined strength was impressive enough to put even Seimei under some pressure. However, once they were separated, their individual strength was less formidable.

Seimei's shadow clones, in terms of close-combat ability, were not inferior to typical Jonin.

After a period of engagement, all three Jonin began to feel the strain. Realizing this, they started searching for opportunities, hoping to take down one of the shadow clones with minimal effort.

The two shadow clones, being extensions of Seimei and carrying his memories, were fully aware of his plan.

Thus, when they sensed the Jonin's intentions, they subtly exposed small, almost imperceptible flaws in their defenses.

They didn't make it too obvious. After all, people tend to trust their own judgment—if something is too easy, they might doubt it.

Sure enough, one of the Iwagakure Jonin, who had been acting as a primary attacker, seized upon a fleeting opportunity and, without much hesitation, launched an all-out attack.

To aid in the deception, the shadow clone facing this Jonin deliberately retracted its short sword, narrowly blocking the attack. What should have been a critical injury was reduced to a mere scratch.

The Iwagakure Jonin glanced at his minor wound and became even more certain of his judgment. Without further hesitation, he fully committed to his attacks, forcing the shadow clone into a purely defensive stance.

Seeing this, the other two Iwagakure Jonin assumed that Seimei's real body had been found and began attacking with even greater ferocity, hoping to destroy the remaining shadow clones and join the fight against the real Seimei.

However, this subtle shift in focus gave Seimei the chance he had been waiting for.

With a swift, sharp thrust, Seimei's short sword shot forward.

Sugiura Dairou's eyes widened in shock as he realized Seimei's strike was much faster than any he had seen before. He didn't have time to parry and could only try to dodge.

Shktt!

The sound of metal slicing through flesh echoed as Seimei's sword left a shallow wound on Sugiura Dairou's arm.

There was no time to inspect the injury, as Seimei's second attack was already upon him.

This time, Seimei's hand twisted, turning the thrust into a slash aimed directly at Sugiura Dairou's throat.

Sensing the deadly intent, Sugiura Dairou ducked just in time to avoid the lethal blow, but a few strands of his hair were sliced off as Seimei's strike missed by a hair's breadth.

Despite the miss, Seimei wasn't discouraged. He had gained the upper hand in the battle, and now had plenty of opportunities to finish it.

Seimei continued his relentless assault, each sword stroke faster and more precise than the last. Sugiura Dairou, having fallen behind, struggled to catch up and soon found himself completely overwhelmed.

The other two Jonin, realizing something was wrong, increased their efforts to break through the shadow clones, hoping to come to Sugiura Dairou's aid.

But the shadow clones, shifting their tactics, no longer sought to attack and instead focused entirely on dodging and entangling their opponents, ensuring they couldn't escape.

Time ticked by, and finally, in one swift motion, Seimei's sword pierced through Sugiura Dairou's shoulder.

At that moment, their eyes met.

In an instant, Seimei activated his Sharingan's genjutsu.

Sugiura Dairou felt an overwhelming drowsiness overtake him, his eyelids growing heavy as he struggled to stay awake.

"I can't… sleep…"

Desperate, Sugiura Dairou bit down on his tongue, hard enough to draw blood.

The sharp pain jolted him back to his senses, breaking free from the genjutsu's hold, but it was already too late.

The moment he regained clarity, all he saw was Seimei's hand approaching his face.

"What—?!"

Before he could react, Seimei's hand was pressed firmly against his face.

In the next instant, a powerful suction force surged from Seimei's palm. Sugiura Dairou's chakra rapidly flowed through his body and gathered at his face, where it was drawn out by Seimei's Chakra Absorption Technique.

Sugiura Dairou felt his chakra being drained as if a floodgate had opened inside him. A profound sense of weakness followed, leaving him unable to muster any strength to fight back.

At first, he tried to resist, but within mere moments, he was completely drained and lost the ability to struggle.

Feeling his chakra replenishing, Seimei shifted his grip, clasping Sugiura Dairou's neck.

Snap!

The sickening sound of a bone cracking echoed.

Sugiura Dairou's head lolled to one side, lifeless.

Seimei glanced at Sugiura Dairou's corpse and exhaled in relief.

Although he hadn't managed to kill Sugiura Dairou in one strike as he had originally intended, the battle hadn't taken much longer than expected. The extra time had also granted Seimei over 10,000 points of chakra, which was more than worth the effort.

But while Seimei could accept the outcome, the two remaining Iwagakure Jonin could not.

Though they didn't share a blood relation with Sugiura Dairou, they had fought alongside him for years and had developed a bond. His sudden death was a shock they could hardly bear.

On top of that, they now had to face their own imminent demise.

Indeed, they had reason to fear.

Immediately after killing Sugiura Dairou, Seimei turned his attention to the next Iwagakure Jonin.

Already struggling to handle one shadow clone, the Jonin stood no chance once Seimei joined the fray.

Within minutes, Seimei finished the fight.

Though his opponent fought back with everything he had, in the end, all he managed to do was eliminate one shadow clone. He couldn't even lay a finger on Seimei.

As for the third Jonin?

He had barely managed to defeat the remaining shadow clone before being intercepted by two Konoha Chunin who had been watching the battle from the sidelines.

Yes, two Konoha Chunin.

Noticing Seimei busy dealing with another Iwagakure Jonin, the Chunin seized the opportunity and attacked the third Jonin as soon as he freed himself.

The rest was simple. After Seimei finished his second opponent, he joined the fight and quickly disposed of the last Jonin.

Just like that, a single mistake led to the deaths of all three Iwagakure Jonin, perfectly illustrating the truth of the saying: "Details determine success or failure."

This also highlighted the brutal nature of ninja battles—one small misstep could decide the entire fight.

Of course, this applied only when both sides were "human."

Ninjas like Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Naruto in his later years, or Sasuke—those who had transcended the limits of ordinary humans—couldn't be measured by this logic.

For them, the amount of chakra and the strength of their ultimate techniques were what truly decided the outcome of a fight. Minor mistakes were insignificant.

It was like when Uchiha Madara fought Might Guy. He underestimated Guy at first and was beaten within an inch of his life.

But what happened?

He recovered in no time.

For beings like them, small mistakes were nothing to worry about.
